Nice one I’ll give that a try in the next few days.
How easy would it be to implement an option to save your settings to *directory as a work around for when updating, could be usefull when re-installing Volumio too.
When you have Volumio installed in your preferred way, you beter create a backup of the SD and use that image if you need to restore Volumio. That will only take 15-20 minutes.
On 5 April I updated volumio, the touchscreen plugin and the now playing plugin. Everything seems to work as expected but the now playing progress bar. At the end of the first track played it stays to the far right. Changing tracks or album seems to have no effect on the progress bar. The track time under the progress is updated but is always one second more than the actual track time. The progress control on the web page seems to be working normally.
I have the new 3 dot menu button so it would appear the update worked.
The hardware is a raspberry pi 4b with 4 gig ram. I using volumio as a upnp renderer with an asset upnp server. I am using hifi cast on a samsung tablet as the upnp control point.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Slightly Ot but what are you using to back up your SD cards ?
I usually use Paragon Backup and restore CE 17.
It used to work great with Volumio 2, It would correctly truncate the image, so you could write it back to any size ( larger or smaller ) SD cards.
It no long works with V3.
I am just using win32Diskimager.
I don’t truncate or make smaller images. Just using a 8GB SD card to configure and setup everything. When completed I take that as backup image.
I can the flash it to any desired card of 8GB or greater.
The seek bar would get to the end and not return to the beginning on the next track, but instead would carry on untill the edge of the screen and stay there.
A pause and resume for me resets it back to where it should be.
Very easy. Not related to the plugin though. Most easy to reproduce is using a streaming service. Just hit the next prev buttuns a couple of time or click at 30% 60% 50% of a track an the seek bar gets confused.
I noticed it happening last night. It did it 4 or 5 times over a 3 hour period.
No special circumstances, I wasnt jumping back and fourth on the time line. Just playing a play list which on occasion I maybe selected a track further down the list. But I cannot say that it correlated with doing this either.
Also I have just tried to recreate with how Wheaten suggested and cannot, but all my tracks are on a local network drive, not internet streaming.
This was on a clean install of 3.251 with only 3 plugins now playing, rotary encoder II and gpiobuttons.
I used the same setup last week but with V3.233 and cant say I noticed it doing it then. So may well be a Volumio issue. If I notice it again i will check to see if the volumio seek bar is fixed too.
I play a mix of flac and dsd files and seems to happen with either continually. I did notice today that if I jump around in the queue manually it often reset to zero time.
As someone else posted pressing pause, in hifi cast in my situation, resets the now playing progress bar to zero along with the web page progress control regardless of the elapsed time. This is a behavior I have always noticed from day one with volumio. I doubt that has anything to do with the plugin.
Done it again last night, Checked the Volumio GUI and that hadnt stuck.
Its not just the seek bar, the track info doesnt update either.
See pic of what its doing
I have managed to work out why its doing this.
Its to do with network connectivity. If the device drops network connectivity (probably due to power saving turning off wifi etc) just before the end of the track then now playing seek bar justs carries on untill it gets another update of the track changing or a pause play etc.
Not sure why but this doesnt happen with the Volumio GUI, that just seems to deal with it.
Its quite easily replicated. On most laptops there is a “fn” key to turn the wifi on and off. You can use this to simulate wifi off.
